Capricorn Monthly Horoscope

Even as spring unfolds,  budding, blooming, awakening, you still feel as though you are in hibernation. Love feels too demanding, responsibilities too intrusive, and as for amusement, you would far rather choose a quiet meditation than a crowded gathering. Everyone seems to speak too loudly, too quickly; the colors are blinding in their brightness, and what you long for instead is a majestic, elegant chiaroscuro,  a light that reveals only what is necessary.

So take your pause. Grant yourself the silence of a warrior. Mars in sextile supports you in this, allowing ambiguity to exist without requiring you to decipher it. Mercury, too, gives you permission not to answer, not even the direct questions. Do not show up. Allow yourself to be absent. You may discover that you have never been so fully present with yourself as you are now.

“Magdalene with the Smoking Flame” by Georges de La Tour is your painting of the month, reminding you that sometimes true presence is born in deliberate solitude.
